Usic Reasonable Suspicion Section 3

Reasonable suspicion process includes:  Observation, confirmation, documentation, notification and testing.

When Observing an employee that may be under the influence, seeing, hearing or smelling something is enough of a fact to require a reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol test.

The documentation process can be handled solely by the supervisor without the need for an additional person to participate in this process.

During the Notification process it is always a good rule of thumb to have a debate with the employee before a test is ordered.

You should never make a promise that “just take the test, everything will be ok.”
